As a fan, I’m barely-containable-giddy about the return of regular season baseball tomorrow. It was a fun offseason in a lot of ways, but also a tedious one in a lot of ways. I’m ready for baseball to be back.
As a writer/editor, I’m nervous about the return of regular season baseball tomorrow! You get into a certain rhythm each offseason (some of you make fun of how rhythmic it becomes sometimes, but it works for us), and then the regular season comes along and completely changes the complexion of your workday. Every year, it takes me weeks to adjust. Which is not a complaint, mind you, because I love doing it. It’s just that it takes time to get back into that rhythm, and every year I’m nervous on this day that I won’t do a good job rapidly doing well here the things you want to see.
Until tomorrow, my friends …
Goodbye, #SpringTraining.

I was interested in exactly how much a minor leaguer might make over the course of a year. And how many hours the ‘seasonal apprentices’ worked on baseball stuff. So I asked @esim3400 and he was kind enough to tell me all. https://t.co/LYhnsuhcL9

If you still don't get why minor league pay is a disgusting enterprise, you must read this piece by @enosarris with input from former minor leaguer @esim3400 – https://t.co/OXUl1txvij
